just an update... I threw on a 1/2" spacer and scooched up my saddle (the Brooks) a half-inch. The ride in today was actually pretty nice. The handlebars are probably within a half-inch or an inch of being even with the saddle. I felt much more like I could 'play the piano' so to speak. Still a pain in the azz to have to consciously curve my spine to keep in pelvis-neutral position. How do you do deep belly breathing when you're using your core to hold everything 'together'?
Ideally, I want this bike to be comfy enough to tour on... Yes she's aluminum, but I think... think... think? that I could find a way to tour on her... at least light-load touring. Weekend trips and the like.
Compared to my other saddle, the Brooks is still a touch of heaven, it really is. Now I can still 'knock' on it, but I can squish it down with the heel of my hand, etc... Nice butt dimples, too
The An-Atomica still fascinates me, though.
